The spleen is the body's reservoir for blood and also plays a role in red blood cell development. When a person has either malaria or sickle cell anemia the body tries to make more blood available, so the extra amount is stored in the spleen.
No they are generally resistant to malaria
No, hemophilia does not confer an advantage against malaria. People with sickle-cell anemia do have an immunity, of sorts.
Malaria is common in topical ad subtropical zones. The malaria has selected the people with sickle cell anaemia. Although person with sickle cell anemia can have malaria, the carrier, or the person with sickle cell trait is resistant to malaria.
Primarily because of the same reason why any of us still persists, because even those people can reproduce. And it has been proven that people who has sickle cell anemia are immune to malaria.
Sickle cell anemia comes as the result of having two sickle cell chromosomes. One sickle cell chromosome makes people resistant to malaria. Unfortunately when people have two sickle cell chromosomes they can get sickle cell anemia. That makes it difficult for their blood to carry oxygen and under certain conditions makes their blood clump. The disease can be deadly. Drugs can help. It probably makes that person resistant to malaria. The sickle cell trait evolved in various places around the world where malaria is common such as Africa and Greece.
Sickle cell anemia provides resistance to malaria - it is ideal for many people in Africa that live in mosquito rampant areas.

Sickle-cell is inherited from parents just as physical traits. People with the disease are SS type and show the anemia. Others can carry the trait (Ss). They are able to fight off malaria. Since this type (Ss) is important in areas with many malaria cases, this is protective.
Individual homozygous for the sickle cell anemia allele
The symboitic relationship between Plasmodium and humans is Parasitic because if someone suffers from malaria, their immune system will become weak. The malaria parasite destroys the immune system, causing no harm to itself.
Yes. The only thing I am aware of that remotely might be related to your question is that if someone has sickle cell anemia they are unlikely to get malaria.
It is more common for people of African descent to get sickle cell anemia. Sickle cell anemia is linked to survivors of falciparum malaria (P. falciparum), it is believed that the hemoglobin cells take on the sickle shape to give the mammal an increased survival rate.
